Those policy disputes are at the bottom of the charges against Bolton. This is the revenge of the State department bureaucracy and its former servants Colin Powell and Dick Armitage. Contrary to former State department bureaucrat Carl Ford's smear of Bolton as a "kiss up, kick down" kind of guy, Bolton repeatedly clashed with Powell and Armitage over substance. Now they are hitting back. It is difficult to believe that Powell's former chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson would viciously attack Bolton on the record in the New York Times without Powell's assent

The Powell/Armitage connection against Bolton was being floated last night. Disgusting petty revenge.

Bad form, General Powell. Bad form indeed.

Pardon for the mis-ping. Meant to type in Dog.

Powell signed a letter of former Secretary's of State in support of Bolton. Probably just another fabricated story by the media.

I hate to think this is payback and thought more of Powell than this kind of petty behavior. I know that Powell isn't universally liked here, but I have had a lot of admiration for him in the past.
